The 1900 census of Georgia Militia District #947 (Brantley District) of Marion County, Georgia, shows him born Mar. 1884 in Georgia; his grave marker shows birth year of 1886. Son of Eli & Frances Ellen (WEBB) STRINGFELLOW, Jr. Married first 23 FEB 1908 in Marion County, Georgia, to Leola Virginia "Ola" PATE. Married second, probably ca. 1919, to Mrs. Sarah Carol "Sallie" (GALLOPS) NIX, a widow. Father of several children.
Per Georgia Death Index: Brooks STRINGFELLOW, White male, died 16 JUL 1961, aged 76 years in Muscogee County, Georgia, as a resident of the same county, death certificate #19143.
While the 1940 federal census appears to show his name as Brooks S. STRINGFELLOW, FindAGrave Contributor #47603872 "Anonymous" reports: "There is indeed what appears to be a block "S" after Brooks on the 1940 census. However, I imagine the census taker would have written a middle initial in cursive as he wrote the other capital S's. So, I do not believe the enumerator intended whatever that is to be construed as a middle initial. In any case, my grandfather did not have a middle name or initial. Rufus Stringfellow, my father's last half-sibling, confirmed that when George Thomas Stringfellow and I visited him in 2005 in Talbotton. According to Brooks' WWI Draft Registration Card, which he filled out and signed, Brooks was born May 1, 1885. [I and members of my family] all attended Grandfather's funeral. I was 15 at the time. I do not think I still have a copy of Brooks' death certificate, but he died July 16, 1961."
Physical description on second page of World War I draft registration card reports that he was of medium height and slight build, with black eyes and black hair, and that he was physically disqualified from service.
